The UMBC Shriver Center has MANY PAID INTERNSHIPS available for ALL majors this upcoming FALL and we still need students to fill them.
Internships are important to obtain admission to graduate school and to find a position after graduation. You gain experience and can also earn 3 credits by interning 8 to 10 hours per week.
Once you meet with a coordinator, we will send your resume to organizations that interest you. In other words, we'll do the mailing and employer outreach on your behalf.
IN ORDER TO GET STARTED, PLEASE:
1) Make an appointment to meet with a coordinator to get your resume reviewed if you have not done so already. Stop by the Shriver Center office (1st floor UMBC Public Policy Building) or call 410-455-2493 to schedule the appointment. The appointment will take no longer than half an hour. Instructions on where to upload your resume can be found at:

During our meeting, we will review your resume, go over your credit options, and show you how to apply to positions.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INTERNSHIP/CO-OP or RESEARCH position and just want credit or an internship/co-op/research notation on your transcript, please call our office to make an appointment to see a coordinator. We will simply need a letter/memo from your employer verifying that you are working at least 8 to 10 hours per week. If you found your position using UMBCworks, you will not need to provide this information.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. We look forward to working with you to locate a great internship, co-op, or research position.
Welcome back to UMBC!
